party. The smart paper is either cream
white or faint blue, and ones initials, the
fac-simile Of ones own writing, are putin
the left-hand corner of the note paper,
but certainly not on the envelope, and
the writing must be done with q quill. II
1t isn't with quill, stub must be used
but then 1t will have to be done in the Sc
crecy OF ones room, for confession of
inability to write with quill is sort Of
social damnation. No ink but black, and
that very black, is tolerated. The day
for violet ink has gone with the scented
note paper.
OF course, a quill makes very black
marks and uses an immense amount of
ink. ! never see such heavy writing
that l do not think of q funny story
about Mr.. Lawrence Hutton. He writes
q very large hand, using an immense
amount of ink, and has fashion OF
throwing the sheets already covered on
the floor that they may dry there. He
was visiting at Mrs. Clements, and one
morning, when very busy, little Hope
Clement came into the room. Her
mamma followed her, and seeing the
! copy lying round said: Hope, don't
step on Mr.. Hutton's manuscript; you'll
| get your feet wet" And that is about
the way the fashionable note of to-day
| looks.
With the approach of Ellen Terry
| comes notice that the front hair will be
worn more frizzed and framing the en-
| tire face with what is commonly known
in England as the "Alma Tadema roof
ing" Mr.. Alma Tadema undoubtedly
appreciates this effect when the hair 80
arranged is light and fluffy, but certainly
he can't think it desirable when 1t il black
and inclined to be frizzy, as it sometimes
is. The light hair seems naturally
to give rather an angelic express
sion to young and pretty faces, but
the black hair only suggests Medusa and
her snakes and gives very hard and un-
desirable look to what might otherwise
be very charming woman. Ellen Terry
seldom influences gowning to any de-
gree, except in wraps and hats, for,
though one whispers it very low, it must
be confessed that she, like Sarah Bern
hardt, is an absolute dowdy off the stage.
! must say in her defense that she is
cleaner-looking than Bernhardt, but both
of them seem to be given over to the
rustiest old gowns and the worst made
that my eyes have ever rested upon.
Much is allowed to a genius, but really
1t is unforgivable in woman when she
can and does not look we'll.
Nobody is invited nowadays to lunch
con; instead the invitation comes for q
one o'clock breakfast, 1t being supposed
that all people who are invited out have
French breakfast in their bedrooms, and
that one o'clock is the first breaking of
the fast to any extent. As the average
New York woman goes out in the morn
ing and shops about and tends to half a
hundred of other things that 1t isn't at
all swell to do after twelve, it may be
taken for granted that she has usually
had very good breakfast before she
undertook her search for whatever she
wanted. This may be world of folly,
but it certainly is one of shams. However,
little sham like this hurts nobody, and
If anybody is pleased the rest of US
ought to be satisfied. BAB.

A Startling Proof Of its Universality Az

A singular coincidence came under the
writer's notice recently. A Russian army
officer invited six gentlemen to dinner.
Without mentioning names will state
their occupations. Mine host was gen.
eral in the Russian army, my next neigh.
Dor was Turkish official, the gentleman
opposite was in the English consulate
service. and the gentleman on his right
was a young French officer. The seat
at the end of the table was occupied by
. distinguished Irishmau, who is famous
for his knowledge of the ancient and
modern languages. The writer was con.
nected with the United States consular
service. The conversation was chiefly
in French, as all present spoke that Ian
guage. Neither the Turk nor the French
officer understood English. European
politics was discussed, and the conversa-
tion turned on the Irish question. The
French officer said he had always taken
great interest In Irish affairs, because
his grandfather was an lrishmsn. The
Turk then made the announcement that
his grandfather was also from the EN-
erald Isle. The Englishman's mother
was Q county Waterford lady. The
American's father and mother were born

FAIR RACES.

Some Suggestive Ideas on the Color Of
White Man.
Canon Isaac Taylor's paper contains
the observation that "fair races have a
greater tendency to become dark in
southern cline than dark races to become
fair in northern regions" The Newcas-
tie Chronicle says: "This is not the first
time that the observation has been made;
and al OF ,er who made it 80 far out
stripped canon Taylor and contemporary
anthropologists as to 60 beyond the
mere influence of climate for an explana-
tion. We read this in Schopenhauer's
chapter on the Metaphysics of the Love
of the Sexes:' Blondes prefer dark per-
sons, or brunettes; but the latter sell
dom prefer the former. The reason is,
that fair hair and blue eyes are in
themselves a variation from the type,
almost an abnormity, analogous to white
mice, or at least to gray horses. In no
part of the world, not even in the vicin-
ity of the pole, are they indigenous, ex-
cept in Europe, and are clearly of Scan
dinavian origin. The white color of the
skin is not natural to man. Conse-
quently, a white man has never origi-
nally sprung from the womb of nature,
and thus there is no such thing as white
race, much as this is talked Of, but each
white man Is faded or bleached one.
Forced into the strange world where he
exists only as an exotic plant, and, like
this, requires in winter the hot house, in the
course of thousands of years man be-
came white. There is something about
this question of race which the anthro-
biologists have failed to explain by any
argument drawn from climate, condi-
tions of life, or conquest. How comes
1t, for example, that the Laps and Esqui-
maux, subjected for ages to identical
conditions of life, yet retain their respec-
tive differences; that the Jew preserves
his original type under every sky; that
the Chinese, scattered for countless CEN
turtles through all the climates, abandon
not their original qualities--qualities yet
more pronounced and original than
those of the Hebrew? More note
worthy still, how comes it that the
gypsy, without intercourse with his kind,
without history or written tradition,
carries with him alike on the cold plains
of the North as in the warmer regions of
the South, the same features, the same
endencies-down to the pettiest inclina-
tions of the soul? If, as some say, the
inhabitants of high regions, where the
pressure of the air is small, become soft
and apathetic, how is it to be explained
that the Peruvian was so gentle and
simple and the Mexican SO bloodthirsty
and cruel-two people coming of the
same stock, equally intelligent, and
living on similar heights and in atmos-
pheres of equal pressures ?"

do If she starts on slender foundation,
for she can build 1t out where required
and will have the small waist as con-
trast, but to perfectly gown woman
whose figure is very well developed is
always trial to the modiste and usually
very poor advertisement for her.
The silver girdle has q rival in the
gold girdle, which Is rather funnily
called contentment belt, because it
makes bright the waist places. When I say
gold girdle don't mean one absolutely
of gold-I mean one made of gold braid.
For evening gowns enormously wide
braid Is used several rows of it are
sewed together on silk foundation and
1t reaches quite up under the arms,
giving second empire air to low
bodice. In this era of materialism and
realism it is rather curious that Greek
gowns for evening wear should obtain !;
for some time Worth has been
trying to make them popular
and now some of the swell dress
makers have brought them over and
with them the announcement that Mrs.
James Brown Potter wears one. 1t GER
tainly is a great pity that q woman who
might be ordinarily good looking in q
frock suited to her should be induced to
wear something that will bring out all
the angles of her figure-snd there are
maryland do nothing toward charitably
concealing the defects. She certainly
cannot wear the Greek gowns in "'Ostler
Jo," nor can she in her French plays;
and If she is going to use them for ordi-
nary house gowns their suitability may
be questioned, and proper shudder be
openly acknowledged by the father of
daughters.
The Greek gown, properly worn, does
not ermit petticoats, and while some of
the old-fashioned lingerie has been abol-
isted, still petticoats are national weak
ness, one to which all civilized people
cling, and they are very properly re-
garded as the bulwarks Of our morality.
Once do away with the petticoat and
what would become of usF An Ameri-
can woman would never commit such a
faur pas As taking ice in her cham
payne, so If she goes in for
the Greek dress she certainly will
omit the petticoat and an appeal will have
to be made to Congress to abolish the
picturesque costume. There will be more
row about this than there ever was about
the Mother Hubbards, and am quite
certain that once q Greek-gown excite.

AT the time of the purchase Of Alaska
In 1867, a great outcry was raised against
Secretary Seward and he was condemned
on all sides for throwing away the pub
lie money in the purchase of barren
territory. The newspapers ridiculed the
transaction and gave to our new pur-
chase the title Of Walrus-sia. Numer-
GUS mock advertisements appeared in
their columns purporting to come from
the secretary, in which large sums were
offered for icebergs, Polar bears, volca-
noes, rocky islands and other worthless
features Of the Polar regions.
Time has vindicated the secretary's
course and even begun to show the great
wisdom he displayed in the face Of a
storm of opposition and ridicule.
We are just now beginning to dis
cover the vast wealth which lies hidden
in our Arctic province, and which ia

to pay for Alaska. This company con-
trolls nearly the whole fur trade. The
most valuable of the furs Of that region
is the sea otter, selling up a. high as
$500 for the finest pelts the silver fox
comes next at 475 to 41O0.
There are over sixty species OF food
fish found in the waters of Alaska, the
most valuable of which are the salmon,
cod and halibut. Cod are found in great
numbers along the whole south shore,
the principal banks being situated along
the Aleut1an islands. They are equal
in quality to those found elsewhere and
are sufficiently abundant to supply the
world. There are now about forty ves-
sells engaged in catching these fish. The
catch last year, with fewer vessels,
amounted to one and a half million of
fish, Our trouble with Great Britain
may find q solution in Alaska's cod
banks. Halibut have become so scarce
on the Atlantic coast that fishing
vessels now 60 ss far north as Green

In Alaska waters and are very large,
weighing as high as 500 pounds. In re-
gard to the salmon of Alaska 1t would
be folly to relate the evidence of their
great abundance, for 1t would only be
credited as fish story" Nevertheless,
1t is true that during the midsummer run
of these fish to the spawning grounds
the fresh.water streams are literally
choked up with them. They move in
such solid mass that one might easily
lay plank-bridge on their backs. At q
cannery on Kadiak island one haul of
the seine yielded enough fish to fill 10000
one-pound cans. The average cost of q
salmon on the Columbia river is ninety
cents, while in Alaska 1t Is not over one
cent. The fish required to fill case Of

Womankind has always had . weak
ness for gold in fact, next to diamonds
there is nothing that is quite as much Of
q temptation as the glistening stuff.
Checks absolutely mean nothing to the
general woman, and she only feels that
she really has money when she gets 1t in
gold. Next to gold money comes lik-
ing for gold braid, due either to her
fondness for the military or for its smart
appearance. Certainly she should be
happy this season, for gown, jacket, hat
and muff are alike gold trimmed. Gold
braid meanders all about her bodice, en-
tirely covers her jacket, overlays the
facing of her hat, and in the hands of a
clever dressmaker has the art of going up
darts and around curves to intensity q
good figure and make better bad one.
1t is rather curious how much
the braid trimming Of a bodice may
either make or spoil it; If it broadens at
the waist you may measure nineteen, but
you will look twenty-six; If it is narrow
at the shoulders it will take away from
the fetching air of the get-up, which de.
mands that the shoulders should be
broad and the waist daintily rounded
and small. The clever modiste is not
only the one who knows how to bring
out good figure we'll, but to take bad
figure and make it good. This she can

II b not often that we hear of such re-

has just been tried at the sssizes. One
day he invited his better half to look

coming to the surface Of the water,
shrieked for help. Her husband let down

she clung with teuacity. believing that
she was about to be saved. Her husband,
however, ruled otherwise, and when he
had raised his wife and the bucket near
the top Of the well he let 20, and the
woman ives once more precipitated into

threw large stones ON her to make her

went to fetch ladder, which he put

some difficulty, owing to the continued
opposition of her husband. He has been
